Ryan and Karl just started a new coffee subscription and investigate Ryan’s drunk eBay purchase.

Sorry about the cut off at the end of the show. It turns out plugging in the HTC Android phone to charge has DRASTIC consequences while recording. A whole hour of recording ended up scrapped. Probably for the best.

New coffee! Coffee subscriptions we can remember trying:

  • Small Batch Roasting
  • Mecca Coffee
  • Coffee Supreme
  • Proud Mary Coffee
  • Market Lane Coffee

Stand out roasts:

  • Coffee Supreme Limited Edition - Filter
  • Finca Tamana by Tim Wendelboe

Reasonable pour over ratios to start with:

  • 21 g of reasonably coarse ground coffee
  • 350 ml water

Today’s pour over setup:

  • Hario V60 2 cup with paper filters
  • Hario Gear

Today’s Roast:

  • Hernando Chantre by Market Lane

Ryan adventures to the dark side: * A Tale of Two Platforms: Designing for Both Android and iOS * Nexus 6P

We also talk about a lot of apps and devices that are pretty easy to google. You don’t need it all listed here.
